Live-Acousmatic Composition and Performance

该项目将扩展声学作曲工作的方法和成果（在工作室中创作的电声音乐到固定的媒介，并使用多个扬声器在音乐会上传播）。作曲、技术、创意和表演实践研究将为项目的各个方面提供信息。这项工作将研究新的作曲技术、方法和词汇，以创造一个大约20分钟的大型声学作品，更生动，更不固定。声音材料在音乐会扩散中的定向移动到围绕收听观众的多个扬声器上将进一步确定声音材料的音色、形态、时间和组合参数，而不是在演播室中组成、指定和固定的那些参数。基于计算机的技术和软件将扩展声音传播的动态和解释性元素，导致一种新的表演形式。将使用MaxMSP和MANTIS计算机声音扩散系统开发一个软件环境，以便对空间参数和其他确定参数作出反应和准确的表达及相互作用。将研究健全材料在新方法和做法中的适当性和有效性。与以前的作品主要是利用机械类声源不同，新作品将融入具有更大自然，流体和纹理特征的声音。流动性，可变性和动力学的主题将告知作品的创作关注和概念，适合现场声学作曲和表演的变化。新作品的公开音乐会演示对项目至关重要。它将在一个特别的MANTIS音乐节（2007年11月9日）首演，为曼彻斯特大学新的220万英镑电声工作室的开幕式揭幕。这将是一个备受瞩目的事件，来自英国和国外的杰出从业者参加。这部作品也将作为我的几部作品之一在CD或DVD音频上出版。（Empreintes Digitales，Montreal Canada已表示有兴趣）。一段时间的母版制作（与蒙特利尔的电声母版制作专家Dominique Bassal合作）将确保实现出版和传播的最高技术标准和技术创新。该研究将被评估，并在一篇文章中介绍了参考期刊和会议出版物，包括有组织的声音和国际计算机音乐和声波艺术网络会议。

The project will extend the methodologies and outcomes of acousmatic compositional work (electroacoustic music composed in the studio to a fixed medium and diffused in concert using multiple loudspeakers). Compositional, technical, creative and performance practice research will inform all aspects of the project.The work will research new compositional techniques, methodology and vocabulary to create a large-scale acousmatic composition of approximately 20 minutes duration that is more live, and less fixed. The directed movement of sound material in concert diffusion onto multiple loudspeakers surrounding the listening audience will further determine the timbral, morphological, temporal and assemblage parameters of sound material, beyond those composed, specified and fixed in the studio. Computer-based technologies and software will extend the dynamic and interpretative elements of sound diffusion, leading to a new form of performance practice. A software environment will be developed using MaxMSP and the MANTIS computer-based sound diffusion system that allows for responsive and accurate articulation and interaction of spatial and other defined parameters. Sound material will be researched for its appropriateness and effectiveness within the new methodologies and practice. Unlike previous work that has drawn predominantly upon mechanical-like sound sources, the new work will incorporate sounds that have a greater natural, fluid and textural characteristic. Themes of flux, mutability and kinesis will inform the creative concerns and concept of the work, appropriate to the variability of live-acousmatic composition and performance.Public concert presentation of the new work will be vital to the project. It will be premiered in a special MANTIS festival of concerts (November 9, 2007), inaugurating the opening of the new £2.2 million electroacoustic studios complex at the University of Manchester. This will be a high-profile event attended by distinguished practitioners from the UK and abroad . The composition will also be published as one of several of my works on a CD or DVD-Audio. (Empreintes Digitales, Montreal Canada has expressed interest). A period of mastering (with electroacoustic mastering specialist Dominique Bassal in Montreal) will ensure the highest technical standard and technological innovation for publication and dissemination is achieved. The research will be evaluated and presented in an article for refereed journal and conference publication including Organised Sound and the International Computer Music and Sonic Arts Network conferences.
